I only had one day to ride around Sicily (not even a full day). I was originally hoping to spend about 2 days there, but due to my sprocket carrier bearing collapsing I had to spend one day in Scilla, just before Sicily, to sort it out. While I was there, the garage that I […]
Greece & Italy 2018 (#6)
It was my last day in Greece. I found a nice and quiet camping spot at Elea beach the previous night. Beach was very long – as long as I could see – but it was empty. From there I had about 4 and half hours ride (the quickest way) to get to Igoumenitsa from […]
Greece & Italy 2018 (#5)
I was planning to stay at a campsite the previous night so that I could have a proper shower after 3 nights of wild camping and using wet wipes instead of shower. But since I broke my helmet visor mounting in the evening and had to find a shop to buy new helmet, by the […]

Day 7 – Greece 19/04/2018 The previous day consisted of small scenic twisty roads only. I did so many corners that day that when I woke up in the morning, I could still feel these corners in my head. I ended up pitching my tent up at the back of the restaurant where I stopped […]

Day 6 – Greece 18/04/2018 I didn’t make a lot of progress the previous day – I got to Thessaloniki where I stopped at a bike garage to try and fix the oil leak. Spent most of the day there and at first it seemed like oil leak was gone, but after about 10 minutes […]

Days 9-12 – Montenegro & Grossglockner 25/05/2017 Following most of the day spent with possibly the nicest people in Montenegro and riding around south part of the country, then getting soaked by the rain in the afternoon, I ended up in Podgorica where I found a cheap room for the night.

Days 7-8 – Croatia to Montenegro 23/05/2017 I got to Split in Croatia the previous night. Plan for today was to ride South along the coast and get to Dubrovnik, and then to Bosnia or Montenegro. This was the route I did that day: Soon after I left Split the views were amazing: Views were […]

Days 5-6 – Croatia 21/05/2017 Last night after getting soaked on Vrsic Pass in Slovenia, I ended up stopping at B&B near Udine in Italy for the night. I didn’t fancy camping all wet and this was the cheapest room I could find. For 10 pounds I got a bed, dinner and breakfast – cheaper […]
